I am looking for information on a 70s mechanical auto dialer, that was in the switch room.
I was thinking a member here was a collector.
If so could you P.M. me so I Could send some pictures and maybe you could identify it for me?

I worked for General Telephone for thirty seven years in both the switch rooms and in private businesses. I don't think you can send pictures with a PM. Post it here. I did save quit a bit of old telephone gear.

You cna send pics in a PM, but post it here, I like seeing that old stuff!
Sorry haven’t forgot about this I am on a cleaning spree and have put it a box somewhere
It was a motorized dialer that had slide switches to program the number for forwarding an extension to a toll free number for hotel reservations in the 70s. Made by western electric. I will try to hunt it down today if the heat wave does not get me.

Can you post some pics? Inquiring minds want to see.

I have never seen that contraption but there are many things I have not seen. I have attached a picture of two old WESTERN ELECTRIC phones. I will try to post more pictures tomorrow.
